What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

Oops I did it again... For $175/local sale I bought a medium-large collection because I can't refuse Lego for under 10 cents on the dollar :P  The lot will need washing, sorting, assembling...  Fortunately a lot of the sets are 50-75% assembled to make pulling sets easier.  I've identified 38 sets (not including smalls) at around $2400 retail and I still have to ID a bunch of Ninjago sets w/o instructions.  There's a nice (ugh) Mega Bloks Halo collection that should bring $150+ (Pelican is $60 alone + 15-20 other assembled sets).  Since I'm still working through a 115-pound buy from a year ago, I've probably bitten off more than I can chew.  If anyone is looking for a project PM me :)

Bought on BrickLink:

40290 60 Years of the LEGO Brick, $37.24 Shipped, did not want to spend $125 to get this free set.

5005358 Minifigure Factory, $21.48 Shipped,  did not want to spend $75 to get this free set.

In my mind I saved $140 on things I do not really need from the Lego Store or SAH by buying these sets for ~ $60 separately and not need needing to spending $200 to get them otherwise.

I don't usually post in this thread, but I couldn't resist this time. A very nice gentleman (ex-Lego employee), presented these four sets for sale on FB. He was very generous and accepted $500 for all of them. Now I'm torn......keep or sell?? My kids are drooling!!

 

after building all 4 of those,  the nutcracker is probably the best display piece and pretty impressive.  Plus can put it right back in the box when done with the holidays.   The train set one is pretty nice too.  The birds are a lot smaller than the other birds set so doesn't really fit into anything well and the windmill is just awkward to display.  All nice sets just depends on your preferences of what you like to display / build.

My kids want the Wind Generator, my wife wants the Nutcracker, and I like the trains. Maybe just sell the birds to offset the cost, and keep the rest? Fun decision to make!

BTW....The Nutcracker box is VERY impressive!

Someone went to Bargain Hunt......

That's actually off an Amazon floor load from there wholesale business.  Essex has the cvg2 facility.  Can see the AF on their inventory scan as well.   Their bargain Hunt stores are the loads they keep.  

Essex takes the floor loads in and then either keeps for retail or makes AF processed loads out of them.
